High quality impact sockets are make of chrome molybdenum, which is a ductile metal that is unlikely to shatter like chrome vanadium sockets and therefore creates less chance of injury from sockets shattering. Impact sockets are a different colour to other regular sockets due to the application of a black oxide coating, which is used as a protection against corrosion, as the vibration caused by a powered impact driver would cause chrome plating to flake or chip off.
The colour also makes it easy to help distinguish regular sockets from impact sockets, which can be used with powered impact wrenches . With a hardened surface, impact sockets can absorb sudden torque changes (impact), whereas a regular socket, with high enough impact, may warp out of shape or shatter as the steel used is softer.
Impact sockets are designed to cope with greater levels of torque and vibration and the combination of an impact wrench and impact socket will deliver much greater torque to a fastener than can be achieved with a manual wrench.
